Girls und War

Doragon curled his lips and muttered, "Is this the way to talk to a school officer..."

As she spoke, she turned her head and posed in front of the camera.

-

Soon, Xia Shu and Lieutenant Hana walked all the way to the regimental headquarters.

After watching Xia Shu enter the office door where he was dozing off, Hana left on her own to do her own thing.

After Xia Shu entered the office, he saw several people sitting inside.

In addition to the one who was taking a nap, there was also a major and a senior sergeant.

It’s okay to be a major, but a senior sergeant is a rare thing.

Xia Shu has been in the army for so long, but this is the first time he has seen this style of military rank.

The rank of Senior Master Sergeant is very similar to her Master Sergeant rank, with three pairs of wings on the sides, a gun arched in the middle, and bullets standing on the gun.

The difference is that the rank of Master Chief only has one bullet standing up, while the rank of Senior Master Chief has two.

As for the sergeant major and senior sergeant major in the military rank atlas, they naturally have three and four stars.

Although Xia Shu felt strange, he didn't say much. He simply saluted and said to Jiamei, "Hello, Camp Manager."

Then he stood aside obediently.

Xia Shu greeted Jia Mei, who nodded and asked her to wait. Then she turned to the major and said, "This is Xia Shu. If you have anything to say, you can talk to her in person."

The major nodded, stood up from his seat, shook hands with Xia Shu, and then said with a smile, "Hello, Xia Shu, I'm Du Yun from the Flower District Military Academy. I've heard of your name a long time ago, and finally meeting you today is a dream come true!"

Xia Shu quickly replied with a smile, "Hello, hello, you're welcome. I've heard a lot about the Military Academy..."

While Xia Shu and Major Du Yun were exchanging tactical praises, the senior sergeant beside them was also looking at Xia Shu carefully.

Xia Shu couldn't stand this kind of meticulous observation, so he glanced sideways and asked, "Who is this..."

Upon hearing this, Du Yun quickly introduced her, "This is Miss Pigeon, the head of the teaching team at our Lieutenant Officer Academy."

As he spoke, the senior sergeant stretched out his hand to shake hands with Xia Shu, and nodded lightly, with a serious look on his face.

Afterwards, several people sat down again, and Major Du Yun explained the purpose of their search for Xia Shu.

"As far as I know, Sergeant Xia Shu should have just been promoted not long ago. Has a suitable position been arranged for her now?" Du Yun asked Jiamei first.

Fake sleep shook his head and replied, "Not yet."

"That's good. It seems our trip wasn't in vain." Du Yun gave Xia Shu a heartwarming smile and then asked, "I wonder if Sergeant Xia Shu would be interested in teaching at our Lieutenant Academy?"

"I have applied for...what?" Xia Shu thought Du Yun was asking about the entrance exam, but after he opened his mouth, he realized that he was talking about teaching.

Teaching! Not enrolling!

Du Yun thought Xia Shu didn't hear clearly, so he said again, "I mean, Miss Xia Shu, are you interested in coming to our military academy to be a teacher?"

Teacher? Not a student?

Hey, what's going on? Is there something wrong?

Xia Shu looked puzzled, not understanding how the other party came up with this proposal.

If she agrees, will she still take the exam?

What if I go there and pass the exam? Can I be both a teacher and a student?

Natsuki started to get confused.

When Jiamei saw Xia Shu's expression, he knew what she was thinking and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Du Yun thought Xia Shu was not too happy to go over, so he looked at Jiamei with a puzzled expression and asked, "This... Miss Xia Shu has other plans?"

Fake sleep quickly shook his head and said, "Oh, no, no. Don't mind me, you guys continue talking, Xia Shu is easy to talk to."

It seems that she is going to watch the show to the end.

Xia Shu was still a little confused about the situation, so he continued to ask, "Why... did you pick on me? I just... don't understand. I just got promoted to Sergeant Major not long ago."

At this time, the senior sergeant of Pigeon, who had been silent all the time, spoke.

She said calmly to Xia Shu, "We, the teaching team, always select the best, not the crowd. I looked at your resume before and felt that you would be very suitable for teaching, so this time we specifically contacted you to see if you are willing."

Xia Shu understood a little bit, so he asked again, "Do you want me to teach snipers?"

"No." Pigeon shook his head and said, "The Lieutenant Academy doesn't teach snipers. That's the business of the Sniper Academy."

"Then..." Xia Shu was even more confused.

"It's combat," Pigeon said admiringly. "I've read all your combat records. As far as combat skills are concerned, I think you must be top-notch. And your teaching skills must be very good. Are the new snipers in your Red Dragon Squadron also trained by you?"

Xia Shu's eyes lit up when he heard this.

This guy really knows what he's doing!

Everyone says that Xia Shu is the best sniper in the world, but Xia Shu is also proud of her fighting skills.

But everyone only noticed Xia Shu's marksmanship, and no one paid special attention to her actual fighting ability.

Even if there are, they are just a niche group of enthusiasts who are particularly interested in fighting.

Something like this that immediately tickled Xia Shu's itch was simply too much for her to refuse.

But how should we deal with the compatibility between teachers and students?

697. How come I, a student who registered for the exam, was transferred to the teaching team?

As soon as Major Du Yun saw Xia Shu's expression, he knew that the matter was half done.

"It seems that Miss Xia Shu is interested in teaching in our teaching team?" She asked while the iron was hot.

Xia Shu hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's not that I don't want to...but..."

"Is there any inconvenience?" Du Yun asked hurriedly.

"Alas...but I just applied for the military academy entrance exam." Xia Shu's face was full of embarrassment.

Du Yun was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled and said, "I just received a call about this matter. Miss Xia Shu, you don't have to worry about it at all."

"You know?" Xia Shu still looked incredulous. "Then can I be a student and a teacher at the same time? Is such an arrangement even possible?"

"Oh, that's not true." Du Yun shook his head and quickly explained, "It seems that Miss Xia Shu is not very familiar with the course schedule of our Lieutenant Academy. You applied to take the public entrance examination this time, not the internal soldier entrance examination, right?"

Xia Shu nodded.

Du Yun then explained, "Actually, after the Lieutenant Officer Academy entrance exam is over, the new warrant officers who enter the academy have a three-month recruit period—the same as the recruit period for soldiers. After all, we can't let a bunch of half-grown kids who can't even hold a gun steady lead the grassroots troops, right?"

As he said this he started laughing.

When Xia Shu heard this, he probably understood what the other party meant.

Du Yun then continued, "But for those who are applying generally and already have a solid foundation as a soldier—that is, those who apply for the entrance exam from within the military, or veterans who have retired midway and are taking the exam again—we can also exempt them from this part of the recruit period depending on the circumstances. Veteran NCOs like Miss Xia Shu meet the requirements for exemption from the recruit period."

Xia Shu nodded, indicating that he understood.

In other words, newly enrolled lieutenants had to undergo three months of training just like soldiers, and as a sergeant, there was no reason for me to participate in the training no matter what.

"After the three-month recruit period for new lieutenants ends, the barracks' internal entrance exams conclude. Soldiers promoted from within the military also connect with the newly recruited lieutenants. Afterward, both sides simultaneously begin a three-month officer course. At the end of six months, a lieutenant's training cycle is complete."

Du Yun quickly explained to Xia Shu the specific procedures for the semi-annual officer recruitment.

And this is why Xia Shu can be both an instructor and a student.

Six months, of which she does not have to participate for three months and can continue to serve on duty at her post.

In the next three months, she can participate in the officer training of military academy lieutenants together with other promoted soldiers.

As for why the total duration of the military academy course is only six months, this is easy to understand.

Because military academies recruit officers, they require the officers to have a certain cultural background.

They don't want officers graduating from military academies who can't even write a report and have poor basic comprehension skills.

At the same time, they do not have much energy to teach the new students, starting from mathematics, physics, chemistry, literature, history and geography.

Therefore, when recruiting officers, a relatively high threshold was set - a first-level bachelor's degree.

In this way, the military academy can ensure that students entering the military academy have a certain level of knowledge and avoid two to three years of university study.

As long as the combat skills that officers need to learn are further compressed to about three months, each round of officer training can be completed in half a year.

At the same time, the knowledge above the strategic level required by senior military officers was divided into the Colonel Officers College and the General Officers College.

In this way, the junior officers in the Lieutenant Academy will need to study fewer professional courses.

They don't need to spend a lot of time learning strategic combat theories that may not be used. They just need to focus on the lieutenant courses at hand.

Since Xia Shu can continue to perform combat duties during the three months that are free in the officer course schedule, he can naturally be assigned other tasks by the military.

For example, he was seconded to the Lieutenant Academy to serve as a combat instructor.

Xia Shu figured this out and asked hesitantly, "So, for the first three months, I'll be assigned to the instructor group as an instructor. For the next three months, I'll be transferred to the cadet group to study officer courses?"

"Yes, that's what I mean." Du Yun nodded quickly.

"This...this..." Xia Shu was so shocked by the military academy's flexible arrangements and whimsical ideas that he was speechless. He could only ask stupidly, "Can it be arranged like this?"

"Well, sure. As long as our teaching team says it's okay, then it's okay." The pigeon, who hadn't spoken for a long time, nodded affirmatively.

Xia Shu still felt extremely confused and asked again, "Then how will the combat training be arranged after I transfer to the student team? Should we cancel it or find someone to take over?"

"Well, we'll talk about it later." The pigeon seemed too lazy to discuss such a long-term matter and asked impatiently, "Just tell me whether you are willing to come!"

Xia Shu couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he fell into a state of confusion and entanglement again.

Seeing this, Jiamei couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing that the three of them were looking at her, she couldn't help but persuade Xia Shu with a smile, "It's okay, Xia Shu, just go with peace of mind. I'm rooting for you."

"Hey, I...it's not...this thing..." Xia Shu couldn't speak anymore.

"Go ahead, go ahead. Become a teacher for the new lieutenants. There will be countless benefits in the future. Once a teacher, always a father, you know?" Jiamei urged again.

Major Du Yun also gave some advice. Xia Shu raised his head and saw a hint of expectation in the eyes of Senior Sergeant Dove.

Xia Shu's scalp was numb and he couldn't bear it. He nodded confusedly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go. Is it okay to go?"

"Good! That's great!" Du Yun nodded repeatedly, saying kindly, "The combat instructor has finally found the person! This puts one worry to rest."

Then he turned to look at the pigeon and asked with a smile, "Are you satisfied now? No need to choose the best one anymore, right?"

Pigeon nodded without saying anything, but a look of satisfaction could still be seen in her eyes.

So, Xia Shu inexplicably transformed from a student at the military academy into a guest of honor of the teaching staff.

But what exactly is going on? It's a mess from beginning to end and I can't figure it out no matter how I look at it.

Afterwards, Du Yun told Xia Shu that the secondment notice would be sent to the regiment headquarters here, and she just had to wait obediently in the company.

In short, whether she will be admitted to the military academy and serve as a combat instructor in the future is a foregone conclusion.

698. It doesn’t matter what happens, Xia Shu gave up thinking

After confirming that Xia Shu would be seconded to the Lieutenant Officer Academy as a combat instructor, Major Du Yun and Senior Sergeant Pigeon informed Xia Shu of some things he needed to pay attention to.

Such as simply preparing the lesson plan outline, communicating with the coaching staff, and studying the teacher's code of conduct.

After Xia Shu agreed to everything, the two of them said goodbye and left contentedly.

When Xia Shu saw the two of them leave, he looked at Jiamei with a confused expression.

He pretended to be asleep with an expression that said he was innocent and it was none of his business.

Seeing this, Xia Shu didn't know what to say.

After all, the agreement has been reached and there is no point in saying more.

So I asked Jiamei another question, "Has my exam application been approved?"

He opened the officer's backstage and took a look, then replied, "It has been preliminarily approved. The receipt should be sent soon."

After hearing this, Xia Shu felt that there was no need to stay any longer, so he waved to Jiamei, and then dragged his tired body step by step towards the door.
